The oft-rumored gaiety of flaxen-haired show dad Joe Simpson got a signal boost last night from Simpson's former son-in-law Nick Lachey. While promoting a new 98 Degrees album on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Lachey quipped: “The best thing about not having Joe Simpson anymore as a father-in-law is I don’t have to play grab-ass under the table on Easter Sunday.” I think I speak for us all when I say: 0_______0

The singer, who was promoting a new 98 Degrees album, later admitted to Andy about his implication that Joe had touched him inappropriately, “It may not be [funny] tomorrow, but it is tonight.”

According to sources, Tina [Simpson] also penned a secret suicide note after finding out about Joe’s gay affair. Talent manager Joe has denied all the accusations. Meanwhile, however, he and Tina split up and finalized their divorce this April.

“Jessica was disappointed that he would even speak about her at all. It’s been eight years since they were married and six years since they last spoke. Jessica doesn’t feel that Nick has a right to speak about her business anymore."
